Every young girl dreams of becoming a princess someday, right? Wrong! That wasn't my dream- far from it! I dreamt of a day where, upon reaching my eighteenth birthday, I could finally escape my neglectful "parents" who only acknowledged me when it suited them. But all that changed when I learned my 'parents' had been arrested on drug charges, and an unknown side of my 'family' had been looking for me since before I had even been born. Enter Mr. Castellucci and his seven sons, and I quickly understood why Maria had never mentioned a previous marriage or her other 'children.' These men were not the dashing princes riding white horses; they were dark, imposing, and intimidating figures. And Mr. Castellucci was determined to take me back with him to his lavish home somewhere in Italy -so far from my comparatively uncomplicated life in New Haven, Connecticut - and begin building my new life there with them. Although wary that these men had a more nefarious and sinister reason for taking a sudden interest in me than being a 'long-lost family member', they were doing an excellent job of easing me into a false sense of security by treating me like their long-awaited 'Principessa'. Desperate for their love and approval, while struggling with my inadequacies and haunted past, I was naïvely unaware of their ruthless nature and sheer power. I did not realise the scope of their 'charm' until it was too late. Far too late. Until I was precisely where they wanted me: under their thumb and control, with no prospects of ever escaping them as Maria had done before me, I was nothing more than a bird locked in a gilded cage, that they had deviously led me to believe was the price of love and safety. Let it be said once and for all: The Italian mafia did not ask; they took what they deemed as theirs to take. And I was THEIRS. _______________ This is my dark, twisted take on the popular Mafia, Older Brothers/Younger Sister, and Lost/Found Daughter/Sister tropes.
Il suono del gioco
Grace non avrebbe mai pensato di dover lasciare la sua città, gli amici e la sua squadra di basket. Ma la separazione dei genitori cambia ogni cosa: il padre, determinato a prendere in mano il suo futuro, decide di iscriverla a un nuovo college contro la sua volontà. Con il ricatto di toglierla alla madre se non obbedisce, Grace si trova costretta a trasferirsi in un ambiente che non sente suo, tra corridoi estranei e compagni diffidenti. Qui conosce molte nuove persone, tra cui Liam, un ragazzo affascinante ma arrogante, che sembra divertirsi a stuzzicarla sin dal primo incontro. Tra i due nasce da subito un'antipatia reciproca, fatta di battibecchi e sguardi carichi di sfida, soprattutto sul campo da basket. Ma col passare del tempo, quella tensione si trasforma in qualcosa di diverso: un'attrazione intensa e imprevista che metterà in discussione le certezze di Grace, costringendola a fare i conti con sé stessa, con i suoi sogni e con il vero significato di libertà.
Cuori Nascosti
«Due cuori, che si son riconosciuti dal dolore subìto.» Violet Anderson, un'adolescente di una piccola cittadina inglese, vive circondata dall'odore costante dei pini e dall'euforia natalizia che si diffonde già alla fine di novembre. All'Accademia dove studia, cammina a piccoli passi verso il suo futuro da attrice, che prima aveva sepolto dentro un cassetto senza chiave. Un giorno, però, incontra qualcuno che la incuriosisce non poco: un ragazzo dai modi bruschi, che vuole solo esser lasciato in pace. Marcus Harris, nobile di stirpe, odia con tutto se stesso il mondo e la vita in generale, comportandosi come se niente e nessuno fosse davvero importante. Il loro incontro avviene come un brutto segno del destino, che li spinge ad odiarsi. Ma quest'odio cambierà, o sarà sempre lo stesso? Capiranno che, in fondo, non è stato proprio il fato a farli avvicinare? ❤️🩹🔒 «Sorrisi falsi, una vita come tante, un dolore disumano, una sola verità: non tutti i cuori sono tali.» -Ne consiglio la lettura durante il periodo natalizio, per maggiore interesse nei luoghi ma soprattutto per le vibes.-Complete

Leonardo Romano is the Capo of the Italian mafia and never shows any emotion, weakness or care in anyone. Until he met her. But was he selfish enough to bring her into his world? ~~~ {excerpt} Aria. She was here. Right here. She didn't hear me come through the door, too engrossed in the book she was reading. I could hear her humming along to a song, similar to the way we first met. I walked right up to the desk, a gentle smile on my face. She still hadn't realised that I was there so I cleared my throat. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, how can I help-" she looked up and she froze. Once it had sunk in, she smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen. "Leo!" She leaned over the desk and tried to give me a hug but because I was so tall, she only ended up hugging my torso.

Là où notre histoire s'est arrêtée
Maël Laroche avait 16 ans le jour où il a été condamné à dix ans de prison pour homicide volontaire. Après des années à subir en silence le harcèlement de son camarade, Armand Le Brillac, il a choisi d'y mettre fin de la pire des manières : en le poussant violemment dans les escaliers, causant sa mort instantanée. Depuis, il purge sa peine en prison. Mais alors qu'il est sur le point de retrouver la liberté qu'il attend depuis des années, Maël est envahi par la peur. Cette angoisse est d'autant plus forte qu'il n'est pas prêt à affronter Florestan, son ancien amour, dont la trahison a déclenché le harcèlement qui a tout conduit à ce drame.Complete
